Not The Star of'Bethlehem.

Geo. G. Comstock, director of Wash
burn observatory and professor of as
tronomy in the Wisconsin university,
says that the bright, beautiful star seen
in the eastern heavens early in the
morning is Venus and not the star of
Bethlehem, as many people have been
led to believe. He also says that there
is no reason for believing that the star
of Bethlehem is visible now in any part
of the sky and the fact that it is said to
be visible is mere conjecture.

The GirPS Statement.

The sensational features OF that little
Saturday night escapade at the Sierra
Nevada lumber yard, were successfully
covered over in the Police Court this
afternoon by the marriage of the young
couple whose indiscreet conduct had won
them unenviable votoriety.
Taylor remained in jail from the time
OF his arrest until late last evening, when
he was released on bail, pending the ex-
animation which was set for p. IN. to-
day. After examining the case thor
oughly, Prosecutor Ferguson decided to
charge the defendant with exposing his
person, that being easier to prove than
charge OF |. and |. conduct and equally
punishable. When 2 o'clock came, how
ever, Taylor and Miss George appeared
before Judge Pyper and asked to be Joined
in wedlock. They were found to be quail
flied and the ceremony was performed,
the groom giving his bride the usual seal
ing kiss.
). A. Kenner, who was Taylor's attor-
ney, made a motion to dismiss the case,
inasmuch as the public morals would
not be benefited by furnishing the de-
PENDANT after he had married the wronged
girl. There was no objection to this,
and the order was so made The ''happy
pair" went away together, with chance
of leading happier and better life.
The girl stated to-day that she had
been engaged to Taylor for over six
months and while she admits that they
were found in rather delicate position
the other night, she insists that there
was no criminal intercourse. Now they
are married, let it drop.

MAY DAY AT PIOCHE.
The |ERecOrd', Man Writes IL Up
ThuSly.


May day passed swiftly and surely
nearly everybody was sure that it was
cold day Beside red-hot stove, clad in
a pair of buffalo skin golashes, with big
transparent icicle hanging pendant from
her nose, sat the Queen of May. Her
rosy bushes were rendered obscure by
a swathing of Xxx flour sacking we'll
STEPPED in pain killer. Her translu-
cent orbs looked dull and watery. To
speak plainly she was badly bunged up
with a cold. Perhaps she had the
mumps thrown in with the cold Yet,
let us not anticipate back-handed. Dur
ing the day her tender parents, by dint
of persuasive eloquence, got her 20 taste
a spoonful of Cruel. One spoonful was
all she took. She said her swallow was
choked up, and she'd rather be ham,
mered on the head with a mallet than
try any more OF the stuff. The process
sion to the May pole was rather seldom.
It's seldom that you see one like it. As
the festivities progressed the brass
band clustered around the North Pole
of May and rendered some of their
choicest selections. 1t is seldom that
such music is Eeard-that is the first
class discord part OF it. The music
loving fraction OF the community couldn't
bear hearing it too long, therefore they
quietly walked away until the band had
ceased its surging. For aught we know,
the tune, we suppose it was a tune,
might have been requiem to the dead
April. The merry May makers having
dispersed, in quest OF warm snuggeries
from the cold inclemency, Sam Smith
treated the band, which was rather
seldom in Sam. The band then went up
on the hill and played. The music
sounded first rate in the distance. May
dav was then adjourned till another year.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Your notice OF
the Y. Nj. G. A. meeting at the
Methodist Church on Sunday night.
and also the notice on the Satur-
day evening previous, would lead
readers of your excellent paper
to infer that certain churches in this city
enjoyed a monopoly of the Young Mems
Christian Association delegates, while
spending the Sabbath in Salt Lake. The
large number of delegates were distributed
among the different evangelical churches
of the city, both morning and evening
services. Their enthusiastic, stimulating
and varying addresses added so much to
the usual services of the day that it
would be difficult TO say which OF the
packed audiences enjoyed the most of
them.
A meeting was held with the delegates
by few citizens of Salt Lake in the
lors of the Continental Hotel on S tur.
day evening, from $50 to 80, AID
at which about fifty persons were pres
ent. The meeting was called to order
and presided over by Rev. L. /.
Wood, who is temporary president OF
the association. Mr.. G. H. Parsons, tenn
porary secretary, followed by Mr. Wood
in stating the needs of this in Y. NJ. c.
A. work. Rev. Mr.. Thrall and members
OF his congregation occupied most of the
time and, on the whole, the visitors
got few clear, pointed ideas concerning
the Importance of establishing an Asso-
citation here and the contamination OF
which it is believed their visit will hasten.

MINES AND MINING.
More of Interest From Southern

Wore Oh interest From southern
Utah Districts.
The mining outlook for Grampian Dis
trict, at this writing, is brighter than for
several years past. The Horn Silver,
Notwithstanding the cloud that has been
heaped upon it by misappropriation of
funds, is more than paying expenses. and
it is pretty well understood that no more
ore is being taken out of the mine than
necessary in the prosecution of work.
1t is generally surmised that profitable
werk is being conducted on adjoining
property, and knowing ones" say there
is no question but what richness abounds
in all the region round about. The
present work on the Grampian, tends to
establish this fact. We hope the day is
not far distant when hosting works will
dot the entire eastern slope OF Grampian
Mountain, and the hum of profitable in
dustry be heard night and day all along
the line.
In Preuss District the Antelope mine,
now being developed by Carver and
Rhay, is showing up fine ledge OF ore
watch assays 40 ounces silver and so per

Star Mining District, despite the fact
that the Star Mining Company is now
and for msny months past has been in
state OF inocuous desuetude, is still in the
list of ore producing districts. Within
the past ten days over twenty car loads
of ore have been shipped by mine owners
and lessons. The mines now being
worked look well, and the men now
working them are old skillful miners
whose hang-on-itiveness is most COM

During the past two weeks eighteen
tons of ore have been shipped to Salt
